Located around 7,200 ft elevation ASL, on the Southeast Fork of the Kahiltna Glacier, at approximately 62.9702 N, 151.1629 W (NAD83) is the base camp for mountain climbers to start their ascent of Denali (elevation approx 20,320 ft) in Alaska. Travel to this base camp is typically conducted via small turboprop (Turbo-Otter and Porter) from Talkeetna, AK (PATK). What I would like to see is for a small snow/ski strip to be created on the glacier and for a small mountaineering tent camp to be setup. If so inclined, there are four other camps on the ascent of Denali, Camp 1 at 7800 ft, Camp 2 at 11,200 ft, Camp 3 at 14,200 ft and the High Camp at 17,200 ft.
